Hello crafty friends! I am so excited to be joining in with the girls over at Altenew today for the March 2018 Release Hop. Keep reading to check out my cards using the new sets, Rose Bouquet, Hope, and Focus on You. There is also 2 different Giveaways to check out at the end of this post.

If you are following along on the blog hop, you have just left May's blog. Isn't she the sweetest? And so talented! If you would like to see a complete list for today's hop, scroll down or head over to the Altenew Blog for all the details.

CARDS

I adore Altenew's genius layering stamps. The flowers are so easy to stamp and turn out beautifully with the layers of color and intricate details. I used the Warm and Cozy and Green Fields ink sets from Altenew to create these flowers....

I layered it with a black and white striped pattern paper and then finished if off with a sentiment from the new Wildflower Garden Stamp Set and some clear droplets.

Another new flower set this month is called Hope. These big blooms are beautiful and work great for a background or just one simple detail on a card.

I used the new Doodle Die for the background. I added in some Picked Raspberry Oxide Ink Blending along the bottom for on ombre style background. I added in one bloom and set of leaves with a heat embossed sentiment and sentiment die to complete the card.

If you follow my blog, you know I love clean and simple. And white space! So I had to throw in one CAS card today.

This set is called Focus on You. The flower stems are so easy to color and die cut. I stamped that sentiment in black ink and added the bloom on top with foam tape for dimension. Definitely a quick and easy card for a friend!

Check out the Stamp and Die Bundles available over at Altenew, along with an adorable little enamel pin!

WOW! What an amazing release! I absolutely love the floral stamps - especially the sweet rose bouquet - and I love to stitch on cards, so I can't wait to get the cross stitch die. Love the colours on your card. Thanks for all the inspiration!

Am in love with your beautiful flower cards!! The Doodled Dot Cover die seems to steal the show!! It really makes a perfect backdrop for the gorgeous flowers! Am in awe of yours and the other DT's talent on this fabulous blog hop!It is making me want EVERYTHING!!

BEAUTIFUL cards!They're ALL GORGEOUS, especially your STUNNING prayers card, a DELIGHT to the eyes and heart!Thank You for sharing and INSPIRING :)PS - I had two favourites from this release (the Cross Stitch Canvas Die & the Dearest Friend stamp set) but have to confess that the more I hop along, the longer my wish list grows

Lovely! I love the extra touches (black and white, touch of ink blending) but also the very clean look of the last one! I love Altenew florals, and even these simpler stems are wonderful. In fact, this time around, I think I like them best. Thanks for some lovely examples.

Love all the colors you chose for your cards.. So much inspiration thank you for sharing your beautiful creations. I am just loving all of the new release but Sweet Rose Bouquet Stamp & Die set is my favorite and Doodled Dot Covered Die and Hope Stamp & Die set and all of them.

Your cards are beautiful and the florals and sentiments pack such a punch because of the CAS design. Love the vellum strip wrapped around for the elegant looking embossed sentiment. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not usually one for oranges, but I'm really falling in love with Altenew's warm and cozy ink set. Those oranges and greens just look really nice against each other in way that I don't often see. I love all the different looks you created with these products from the very CAS at the end to the play against the patterned paper to the gradient. It's all just lovely. Thank you for sharing with us!
